GU5.3 hasn't been banned or removed from anywhere, neither has GU10 or any other connector. Halogen lamps with those connectors were banned years ago, what's still available is old stock that people hoarded. LED versions of both are still available, but the GU5.3 12 volt versions are far less...

CPC is earth connection. I don't have any experience with LEDs and dimmers as I am happy with lights that are either on or off. Never really felt the need for anything inbetween. If you go with 230V GU10 lamps then yes, you would get rid of the transformer. The easiest way is to replace...

Before the advent of enclosed fittings a lot of wholesalers sold the same fitting body and supplied you with either G 5.3 or Gu10 floating lampholders to your preference. So the clip was essential to retain the lamp with either type After clip removal, tapping the lamp with a screwdriver...

AVOID sealed units is my advice. GU10 fixed or tilt, non IP or IP rated from KSR are ideal. You can then change the bulbs if you want and this means you don’t have to remove the lights from the ceiling, potentially damaging the ceiling in the process Ideal in kitchens, bathrooms, halls and...

No such thing as an MR 16 lamp holder. What you show is G5.3 lamp holder. MR16 lamps can come with all types of lampholder. There is no requirement and never has been for 12 volt lamps in a bathroom. Where did you get that idea from? To change to GU10 get a sparks to remove the 12v power...

Removing the transformer and using GU10 fittings should work, but still leaves other issues to address, including:- Loft insulation and ventilation around the light fittings - damage to the old lamp holders suggests this may be an issue. Suitability of the fittings - are the new fittings...

I guess they aren't sold separately?

Theoretically yes, the connectors will need to be replaced as they would have been designed for 12V and not 230V, you will also be modifying the product and will effectively be the manufacturer if it. Those replacement lampholders from Screwfix and the like are intended as replacements for...

Hi Guys. Thanks for your responses. Sorry for the delay but I've been away since Monday. ban-all-sheds - I have done no other work at all. securespark - the spotlight I had in the ceiling was a low voltage GU5,3 type halogen bulb. This was attached to a transformer, which in turn...

Hello Helping out a friend with a lighting problem and hoped one of you could help out with confirming or otherwise our views: Nearly all of the lighting in the flat is provided by 12v spots. (installed some 5-10 years ago) As the person upstands stomps around some of the bulbs can...

How does surface lights look on a ceiling I like the look of a clean ceiling with flush downlights

When new, the front ring would be removed by unscrewing. Years of moisture, corrosion and the vast amounts of heat created by that 50W ceiling burner will have converted it into one sealed piece. It's not coming apart without the use of massive destructive force. It's time to dispose of them...

JCC LED stuff is rubbish, a lot of it fails before it's time. I think a lot of this type of product isn't under guarantee unless it was registered at the time. If I was you I would remove all the lights, discard them, and fit new GU10 fittings, where the only thing that can fail is the (LED)...

I've been looking for a wire clip on the fitting to remove the bulb but can't find anything to release it. I've tried pushing the glass (nothing), turning the glass (nothing) and not sure how to get to the bulb. Any ideas? Please see attached photo. Thanks

I think you'll be suprised at how much light that the lights give off! Fitted 9 to a similarly sized dining room for a friend and WOW!! After we removed our welding goggles... I also fitted a dimmer controller (Lights were 240 volt GU10 type), but remember to use a suitably rated...

In one dark corner of my hall there was an old surface-mounted BC-fitted spotlight, so while redecorating that area I decided to replace it with a new recessed fire-rated LED downlight. I wanted to use a GU10 for this as well for flexibility, rather than one with an integrated LED. I removed the...

Direct replacement of MR16 lamps with LED equivalents can cause problems depending on your transformers. It is difficult to tell if you'll have trouble without actually trying a replacement, but in general "electronic transformers" fitted from about 2000 - 2010 (?) is likely to give trouble...

Thank you. Ok, if I get something like the link below how would I connect it to the current connecter box as seen in pic? Would I just remove the connector on the new one then wire it into the old connector box? https://www.toolstation.com/aurora-fixe ... ght/p76299

Those are 12V halogen lamps, which are obsolete, along with the transformers/drivers for them. New LED lights required, either GU10 which have replaceable lamps, or risk the integrated affairs which when they fail the entire unit has to be replaced. Some alterations to the wiring will be...

Drat, Changed all 12 Halogen lamps/bulbs to LED keeping the GU5.3 holders and transformers. Then 1 of the 12 lights started flashing after 10mins use, tried another lamp/bulb still same. So it looks like this transformer does not like LED's, so it looks like I am having to replace the holders...
